Harmony of the Gospels

LUKE Chapter 5

1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”

5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

PLEASE NOTE: The Gospels record two separate occasions, three years apart, where Jesus miraculously caused an extraordinarily large catch of fish. The first is here, with Jesus in the boat; the second is in John 21 after His ascension, with Jesus on the shore. Thus, we know which miraculous catch is being illustrated by Jesus' location in the picture.

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

“You fisha my wreck, I sinka you boat!”........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

“Duck!” had multiple meanings.

[pigsmith]

Please add me to your list. Thank you 😊

[Hebrews 11:6]

Very pleased to add you, pigsmith!

Please note that this is not actually a daily series—I can only manage five or six posts weekly—so don't take it amiss when a day goes by occasionally with no ping.

Re: #5

As the daughter of a man who spent his entire childhood in the Commercial Fishing Fleet under sail in Gloucester, MA, I can assure you that the crew did not work the nets buck nekkid.

OK...the Sea of Galilee is a lot warmer than George’s Bank, but still...

[pigsmith]

Works for me. 👍

[Hebrews 11:6]

Were you there? Isn’t that cultural gasp appropriation? Everyone must conform to your intolerant Baaaahstaaaan stuck-in-the-17th-Century Cotton Matherish prudery? Have YOU ever tried fishing in tight colonial gear?

[etabeta]

#25 - Raphael was considered the Prince of Painters for his impeccable and beautiful work. He trained in Pietro Perugino’s workshop, he quickly surpassed his master in skill and technique and joined Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci to form what was then called the “traditional trinity” of the Renaissance.
Of this painting he made several cartoons for tapestries Pope Leo X wanted for the Sistine Chapel.
The picture here doesn’t quite show its beauty. It is barely dawn, the light spreads over the lake, highlighting the garments and the muscular bodies of the fishermen. Birds are flying, people are gathered on the shore and men are fishing in two boats.
In the first, a particular touching moment, a humbled Peter kneeling in front of Jesus, having recognized His divinity, asking “Why me? I am a sinner”. In the other, fishermen haul the huge catch of fish with great effort.
Ravens fly in the sky, symbolizing the darkness and sin of the world (at that time it was also thought to be an allegory for the corrupt Church). The 3 cranes were not painted by Raphael but an assistant noted for his skill in depicting animals. Cranes were considered the most vigilant among birds. One would be guarding while the others slept. They became symbol of the Papal authority, as the cranes watched over their flock so the Pope watched over his people.
The fishes are recognizable as deep water varieties (so they say, I really don’t know). Here, they may represent souls that have been saved (taken up in Peter’s nets). A remarkable painting!

I’m talking early TWENTIETH Century, not 17th. LOL.

Have you ever been in a wooden fishing schooner under sail in the North Atlantic?

Or even on the Sea of Galilee, which can also get mighty “brisk”?

(I have done both)

I really hope you were kidding when you called me “Intolerant” or “Prudish”.

Those are not nice things to say to a Christian Sister.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I bow to your experience, although I have my own significant deepwater Pacific Ocean experiences.

And yes, dear sister and loved one, it was all in jest. My respect for you and the Christian values you exhibit is profound and enduring--please don't ever doubt that.

[Hebrews 11:6]

There might be an additional inplied element in Raphael’s design: how tiny the boats are. Clearly, they are for two men only: Peter and Andrew, James and John. But such tiny craft imply low expectations—they’re not anticipating such a haul. What a shock when it occurs! All the more reason, then, to be astonished at its Source.

[etabeta]

Well said!
